Chris Wigger was a Youth team product released in the summer of 1996 without making a first team appearance. Chris played for many years with Wroxham Reserves in the Premier Division of the Lovewell Blake Anglian Combination. He transferred to their rivals Cromer in the summer of 2003 and has since become player-manager.

He later took charge of Sherringham with whom he had two promotions in three seasons.

On 18th March 2020 Wigger and his brother-in-law Darren Eadie and Wigger were appointed as joint managers of Southern League side Leiston who had announced Glen Driver and Tony Kinsella would be leaving the club. Leiston chairman Andy Crisp said: “It’s with excitement we welcome both Darren and Chris as joint managers of our first team here at Leiston FC. While Darren will need no introduction, he is joined by Chris who has a wealth of experience at non league level. Chris is ambitious and is relishing a new challenge. Darren and Chris have enjoyed much success at Sheringham with two promotions gained in the last three seasons. In such unprecedented times its difficult to forecast what’s happening with the remainder of the current season but clearly health and people’s welfare is far more important than any football decisions. However, the appointments of both Darren and Chris focuses on the vision our Football Club as we look beyond the current crisis and shows our intentions to prepare for the new season ahead and beyond."
